Title: Builder for house extension Post by: chalkies shorts on Sunday, June 13, 2021, 19:57:24 Any builders on here who do this work or any recommendations. I'm in Swindon. Single story extension going out max I can without planning permission. Need someone to give ideas as well as rough cost. My wife is keener than me. I need convincing.
Also anyone to avoid. Title: Re: Builder for house extension Post by: Jimmy HaveHave on Sunday, June 13, 2021, 19:59:25 If you or the Mrs is on Facebook advertise in the groups and you should get lots of advice

Title: Re: Builder for house extension Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, June 14, 2021, 09:13:59 Faintly related but we are currently having some work done to our bathroom at the moment and our plumber was telling us that parts and cement in the industry are currently in short supply as some of the 'ingredients' come from Europe and this has been slowed down due to the recent transition.
Not sure if anyone else has had this problem but thought it worth mentioning on here as work could be delayed etc. Title: Re: Builder for house extension Post by: horlock07 on Monday, June 14, 2021, 15:44:41 Faintly related but we are currently having some work done to our bathroom at the moment and our plumber was telling us that parts and cement in the industry are currently in short supply as some of the 'ingredients' come from Europe and this has been slowed down due to the recent transition.

Architects and HBF are already up in arms about it. Any builders on here who do this work or any recommendations. I'm in Swindon.

You can possibly go even further with neighbour notification but not PP.

Architects and HBF are already up in arms about it. As semi detached I think I can go out 3 metres. I wouldn't want to go out much more anyway. I get on with neighbours both sides so I think they'd be ok as both have extended but don't think I need to go there unless builders cone up with some good suggestions.

Looks like you are on it, further few PD rules here... https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/17/extensions Title: Re: Builder for house extension Post by: chalkies shorts on Tuesday, June 15, 2021, 14:40:48 Looks like you are on it, further few PD rules here... Thanks for these. Sandy, was hoping to avoid architects plans as no longer needed I believe. I'm going for the Mr whippy approach of the plans being in my head. https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/17/extensions The big issue we will have is drains. We have drains for 3 or 4 properties and one is within the 3 metres we'd like to extend to. I'm sure it will be s big expensive issue where we will need the water boards permission to reroute taking weeks and shitloads of money to get approval.

When we extended the other year we didn't have any plans drawn up, just make sure that you check what building regs will need to see and from experience make sure they bloody record things! |
